To show that they are friends, and, incidentally, to make one play take the place of two, the societies gave together the comedy What Happened to jones in the school auditorium the night of May 7. The house was almost full, and the audience was an appreciative one. The clubs are much in- debted to May Chace and john Roberts for the interesting and artistic posters which helped greatly to insure a good audience by arousing the schoolis curiosity. The final programme of the year was rather unusual. It was an evening picnic and hayride at the farm of Florence Fuqua, one of our members. This departure from the custom was a success, however, and every one seemed to enjoy the outing extremely. . . ., , --- M .-.5-.1s-Ssx:1:a:lllnamny-y,,--9...-L..-L.2:i:.:.Z-- E.---. .. .

This year has been one full of excitement. 'The club has given two plays, been enter- tained once, and has given a picnic-all in the short space of three months. The way in which the members have worked and the abil- ity they have displayed in the various pro- grammes show that the club has chosen its members wisely. At the Hrst meeting after the election of -officers we were entertained by Mr. Humph- rey. To those who have heard him, no com- 'ment is necessary. We one and all wish to 'thank Mr. Humphrey most heartily for his 'inimitable rendering of Mr. Pickwick and -dramatic reading of Hamlet It has been a tim-e-honored custom in the -club to entertain the Clioniansg this year we gave the following programme: Piano Solo. . . . . . . . . .Jerome Twichell, jr.

They nehearsed in Room 77, in Room 83, in the corridors, and iinally in the Auditorium. But the Clionians said the play was a success, and the cast felt re- paid for all the work they had put into it. The cast included Helen Hayden, Marguerite Guy, Florence Fuqua, Clifford Hollebaugh, and Kenneth Irons. All the members of the cast did excellently. The Clionians in turn entertained us most enjoyably by an exhibition of their best tal- ent, and all the visitors expressed their hearty appreciation of the whole programme. The programme committee meant to make debates a feature of this term's work, but the term was so short that we had time for only one. The question was: Resolved, That final examinations should be abolished from Westpolrt High School. George Meyer and Arthur Hayum too-k the affirmative, and Don- ald Black and Paul Childs the negative. The speakers for the affirmative made a great plea for the health of both teacher and pupil and completely won the audience. The whole club acted as judges, and the affirmative won al- most unanimously. There has always been some rivalry be- tween the Round Table and Clionian socie- ties. Before this year neither club appreci- ated the other: but this year a better feeling

The Clionians were very fortunate, as us- ual, this year, in securing an excellent Pres- ident. Vlfhen Sidney Altschuler was elected President for the Hrst term, we little dreamed that, contrary to custom, we would re-elect him, but he filled the ofhce so well and so beneficially to the society that we could not think of allowing another to take his place for the se-cond term. We Clionians are proud of our large rep- resentation in the graduating class of this ye-ar. lille will miss them next year, although we shall feel that their good wishes are with us. Among those who wil be most missed is Mr. James Field, who has organized and directed an excellent orcheitra for us this year. The Clionians wish to thank the Round Table Club for the delightful afterno-on they affordid us. Vile appreciated their neighborly kindness in wishing us to enjoy a programme composed of their excellent talent.

Instead of entertaining our alumni as us- ual this year, the Clionians joined the Round Table Club and took part in the play, XVhat Happened to jones. Wfe feel that the audi- ence of pupils and friends of Vlfestport High School appreciated our dramatic effort, as this the SP pre the fee wi.
